Maluku Ubud

Maluku takes its name and theme from the Maluku archipelago, the historic Spice Islands, and serves contemporary Asian and Indonesian cooking with modern presentation. Starters include octopus rendang, tuna tartare, tuna nham jim with green mango, crispy squid, rice paper rolls, gado-gado and Lombok scallops. Mains lean on regional Indonesian dishes: bebek tumpeng with duck leg confit and yellow rice, sate kelopo, beef rendang, Padang-style ayam bakar, nasi goreng rendang and octopus kalio, plus Thai green curry with barramundi, red curry pork ribs and a few Western choices. Desserts include pisang goreng, and the bar mixes signature cocktails, fresh juices and coffee. The dining room pairs carved wood panels, rattan lamps and dark timber furniture, with an acoustic set in the evening. It suits relaxed lunches and dinners in central Ubud, including vegetarian diners.
